Re: Would you recommend Pentax?

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I recommend Pentax to people quite often. Even to professionals whose  
work, like mine, doesn't necessarily require the fastest, biggest  
camera on the block.  The lenses are  excellent, the prices  are  
reasonable, the viewfinder is very very good, and the camera is  
easily learned and very handy in use. For those more concerned with  
making photographs than allowing equipment to make a statement for  
them, Pentax  does a very good job.

The major advantage of using Nikon and Canon is that you have  more  
lens choices at  your disposal. This is important for those who need  
more lenses, but if what Pentax  offers  fits your needs, there  are  
few downsides.
